That's Not A Xenomorph Embedded On The Wall. It's A Mask

Dude... Let me take a hit of whatever you're trippin' on. Maybe that'll help me see it.

Yeah not seeing what your seeing man.

While I can kind of see the woman you refer to, I don't think this image depicts any kind of mask. It is a stylized relief of an Alien. Possibly a queen. The shapes surrounding the head could be queen plates.

@Lexsidious Here is a link to a bigger image http://cinemart-online.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/xenomorph.jpg

It could even be a life cycle depiction, but that is a bit of a stretch that requires much squinting and creativity. Maybe that's a facehugger at the bottom, a host in the middle and the Alien on top. While it is stylized, the more I look, the more sense it makes. Then again, Im pretty good at seeing what I want to see.

It ain't a queen, i can promise you that, forget all about aliens, alien 3 and alien resurrection... I can see the parts that make you think it is a mask/face, not sure i agree though.

Its a xeno-ish creture innside some very giger-esqe labia

@Myrddin365 "While I can kind of see the woman you refer to" Well I am glad you saw her. She looks like a angel in a way with that veil over her head and with her wings folded inward.

They gave us another Rorschach test. I actually both see a face and a bit of the alien form.

In the original film, brett and dallas were being swallowed by or becoming eggs when Ripley found them in the deleted scene. The "giger-esqe" labia around the humanoid figure resemble that somewhat. If we ignore the following films the life cycle of the alien goes: facehugger impregnates host, host births Alien, Alien creates eggs from surrounding life forms and more facehuggers continue to impregnate.

Is an Alien Queen. I see the flat dented head and 4 arms (in a position similar to Indian Godess Vishnu). It doesn't surprise me at all, since Scott has said that he is a fan of Cameron's film...

no, its definitely a xenomorph

no, its a relief , part of the ancient artwork in the temple they discover. dont forget the ancient but biotech origin must be plausible explained. So the ancient hieroglyhs.

I found this part of the new trailer one of the most interesting bits. I guess this is the mural Ridley Scott said that Gieger was brought in to work on. It looks very much like one of his artworks. Very interesting although I’m not seeing some of the things others are seeing. I think because of the nature of his artworks you can read lots into what is there, especially if you take into account the other films. But I’m really not seeing the Alien Queen (perish the thought) that others are making it. But it definitely looks like a skeletal, humanoid, xeno like shape in the middle, with an alien like head & outstretched arms. I’m not seeing much else though but it’s a massively interesting part of the trailer all the same.

It could b an actual alien or a statue, like the giant human head, the space jockey suits we see in the picture with shaw, there were to suits next to each other. I don't see a mask, definitely an alien but much thinner, it may not be a queen but it has a big head piece like the queen

I see [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias]confirmation bias[/url]. No but seriously the very intention of this piece is, in my opinion, to be as vague a depiction as possible. The similarities to the classic xeno form are obvious (gaunt limbs, prominent ribcage, and faceless head), but the figure blends almost seamlessly into the background it is presented on. Rather than being meant to specifically depict a xenomorph (as we know them), I think it is meant to represent the plasticity and variability of the many forms these beings can create. Just as each one of us looks at it and sees what we want to see, the mural is a statement by its creators to say "it is as we want it to be".

Its a mural, think of it as a stained glass depiction of some important figure in a church, except this is found in an ancient temple and depicts the "uniform" form of the Xenomorph. Also take into account that such a depiction within this mural states the creature already exists, thus will not be created in the movie.

I thought it was either a real alien or a statue like the giant human head. But I like the idea of it being a mural, that's pretty interesting. I thought this was golf to be that ancestor that Scott mentioned, he said we wont see the original alien but the progenitor, could this be it

It's not an actual alien. What a relief!

POV shot. Reflection in helmet.

Dare I say a Cruciform pose?

I think this is definitely Giger's work. Here's something to chew on, the more I look at the figure in the middle, the more it resembles (in stance) a crusifix with the arms outstretched (albeit very Giger-esqu and almost evil)...Giger's work in particular is very dark and evil and after hearing some of the comments by Scott about pushing back on the convential thoughts about religion with the film it makes sence that this could be a take on that...after all good and evil could be viewed as a perception of what side you are on...what we deem as evil may be deemed as good by their race and vice versa..makes me think that he could be really coming at this movie from some seriously different angles (the backdrop in the beginning of the movie about two super powers at odds with each other is another symbolic take on this)...after all since the whole idea of the ancient alien theme is that our beginnings started elsewhere which goes against traditional religion wouldn't this then be symbolic of the Engineers being the seeders of life and thus "God" like. I also think that one of the big themes at least symbolically is this thrust for gaining knowledge it's what makes us human and once it's gained like in the Garden of Eden it is the source of our downfall. I may be way off but symbollically I think this movie is going to be very textured... thoughts?
